LAPAROSCOPIC INSTRUMENTATION: tools needed to perform a colectomy

Minimally invasive surgery includes laparoscopic colectomy, hand assisted colectomy and robotic colectomy techniques. There are advantages compared to traditional, open incision surgery.

These include less pain, shorter recovery & a decrease in certain complications. Patients are often treated as an out patient and often avoid the major risks of a major bowel resection in properly chosen cases.

A surgeon with expertise in this technique evaluates the tumor to see if the patient qualifies for this procedure. Very specific criteria must be addressed. Typically general anesthesia is used and postoperatively there is less pain.
